European Pressurized Reactor

All modem plants, including the EPR (European Pressurized Reactor), incorporate an enhanced feed and bleed function according to the conceptual lines... 

Another approach, also not related to a specific aircraft, has been defined for the European pressurized reactor [1-6]. This approach leads to a bunker type layout (see Fig. 1-7), which can survive a wide range of scenarios relating to the potential crash of a military or large commercial aircraft.

A concept of an evolutionary reactor is pursued with the joint French / German European Pressurized Water Reactor , EPR, a 1525 MW(e) plant with evolutionary steam generating system and innovative double-walled containment [20]. A three years basic design phase as a prerequisite for the beginning of the licensing procedure was finished in 1997. The characteristic feature is a core catcher to restrict a possible core melt to the power plant itself. The joint effort by Germany ind France, however, finds in both countries a situation where no further base load is required. The EPR, confirmed as a future standard in France, is projected to substitute decommissioned nuclear plants. 

In February 1995, a contract was signed by German and French utilities and reactor manufacturers including Nuclear Power International, to enter a Basic-Design Phase for the European Pressurized Water Reactor, EPR. An accord was also reached between the French DSIN and the German Federal Ministry BMU on basic safety requirements for future nuclear power stations.

Innovation options in the nuclear sector include the development of small to medium capacity plants (200-500 megawatts [MW]), evolutionary concepts for the European pressurized water reactor (EPR), Generation IV reactors that reduce waste production, and alternatives to uranium.

At time of writing, Electricite de France (EDF) is about to make a decision to finally commit fuUy to the constraction of a large new twin pressurized water reactor (PWR) at Hinkley Point, Somerset, in the UK. The plant will be two European Pressurized water Reactors (EPRs), designed by Areva and built by EDF. Similar plants are already in construction at Olkiluoto (Finland), Flamanville (Normandy, France), and Taishan (China).
